Results from her sedated ECHO were amazing! Her valves are leaking, we will continue to monitor. But her pulmonary pressures are NORMAL! Amazing – that is a miracle! I am so grateful!

Sweet Bella was sent home on Monday. She kept crying and they were afraid she was in pain from her surgery. As soon as I saw her and heard her cry I knew what was wrong – poor thing was constipated! It’s a chronic problem for Bell, add in anesthesia and you have a recipe for disaster. I had increased her laxative, but evidently not enough! As soon as I got her home, we got her cleared out and she was happy as a lark. I texted this pic to her teacher who couldn’t believe it was the same kid they had just sent home! :)

Signing Time Christmas and a Christmas card from Miss Rachel came for Bella! So thrilling!

OT eval She loved the swing! I loved the circle she drew! I’ve been trying to convince school that she can produce a circle, she just likes to hide her abilities! Ornery girl!

Well, maybe I’m too close to see you clearlyOr is it now my role to simply believe?You’re just one of those mysteriesThat may never be solved in timeBut you do — you do — you shine

And Sammy will do what Sammy will do when Sammy is ready to do itAnd Trevor will do what Trevor will do when Trevor is ready to do itAnd Lucy will do what Lucy will do when Lucy is ready to do itAnd they’ll do it in their own time
